New York City Mayor Eric Adams, said nearly 7,600 migrants <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/22\/nycs-migrant-surge-now-around-6k-amid-texas-bus-transports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have now arrived<\/a> in the big apple since may, a move that has <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/28\/nyc-yet-to-open-promised-intake-center-migrant-only-shelters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sent city officials scrambling<\/a> to find them adequate housing.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago City Hall told New Yorkers that 11 hotels were being used to help ease the pressure, but that has now been upped to 14.<\/p>\n<p>City Hall has also confirmed that they are no longer planning to house 600 families at the luxury row hotel near Times Square in NYC which is regularly packed with tourists.<\/p>\n<p>one New York City Councilmember has been fighting for her community and just celebrated a small win. Queens Councilwoman, Vickie Paladino, issued a statement Monday, Aug. 29, praising the decision made by mayor Eric Adams\u2019 office not to house migrants bused in from Texas in a queens hotel. The mayor\u2019s office reversed course on the matter after Paladino put up a good argument criticizing the housing of migrants in the community of college point.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI am thrilled to see our efforts and concerns in regards to college point have not fallen on deaf ears and the city is exploring other options for housing migrants,\u201d Paladino said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Mayor\u2019s office has informed me that migrant families bussed from Texas are to be housed in College Point as part of a citywide plan which impacts several districts. Council Members were not consulted in these decisions. My full statement is below. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LC8RmNl1by\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/LC8RmNl1by<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (@VickieforNYC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VickieforNYC\/status\/1563260359296724992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Paladino believed the original decision would\u2019ve added to the already overburdened area and expressed her concern that resources would be diverted from other areas that could otherwise help improve the community.<\/p>\n<p>New York City\u2019s \u201cright to shelter\u201d laws requires the city to find housing for an individual who requests it \u2014 regardless of immigration status or residency. Adams has called on the federal government to send more resources to New York City, in order to address the influx. He also said that any children who travel across the border would be integrated into the school system and will receive supplies and backpacks.<\/p>\n<p>But, wait a minute, we thought New York was a sanctuary city. So, we shouldn\u2019t have a problem with this, right?<\/p>\n<p>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took to Twitter Saturday to defend his moves in busing migrants here, to the Empire state. Abbott, arguing that the state is highlighting a national immigration crisis with its actions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Texas is filling the gaps left in Biden\u2019s absence at our border.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve made over 19K arrests, seized over 335.5M lethal fentanyl doses, &#038; sent over 7,400 migrants on buses to DC &#038; over 1,500 to NYC.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden ignores the crisis, Texas steps up.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/G2Ev403H1j\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/G2Ev403H1j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1563497535993704450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a Texas problem; this is an American problem caused by the president,\u201d Abbott said in a press release. \u201cWe need more Americans to call on the president to uphold his oath of office and enforce the immigration laws of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migrants, who boarded a bus in Texas, listen to volunteers offering assistance after being dropped off within view of the US Capitol building in Washington, DC, on August 11, 2022. \u2013 Since April, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered buses to carry thousands of migrants from Texas to Washington, DC, and New York City to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1298,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1627294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1298"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1627294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1627294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1627294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1627294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
